Misery Index · Despair
Cardinals fans declaring the rebuild dead on arrival after blowing a winnable one to the league's worst team.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A 21-19 lead with two minutes left, and somehow J.Slye trots out for a 29-yard chip shot at the buzzer to end it. The C.Ward dagger to C.Ridley for 38 set it up, but the autopsy starts earlier — at the D.Taylor-Demerson interception at the ARI 5 that should have been the closing argument. K.Murray's 44-yard strike to M.Harrison feels like it happened in a different season. The rebuild questions aren't rhetorical anymore.

“That’s the most embarrassing loss I’ve ever seen. I’d investigate the players for gambling. The coach should be fired for taking the ball out of Murray’s hand on their last drive. Just get first downs and win the game!!!! What a trash franchise.”
